Jodie Foster has come aboard to star in Hotel Artemis, Drew Pearce’s directorial debut that Simon and Stephen Cornwell are producing for The Ink Factory. The original script from Pearce (Iron Man 3, Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation, Godzilla), described as “a thriller in its own, distinctive crime universe,” is being produced by Adam Siegel and Marc Platt via Marc Platt Productions. The Ink Factory will also finance the project which is scheduled to start before the cameras in May or June of next year.
